Subject: RE: Great turns of phrase in lyrics
Hi,

Elvis Costello has written his share: "She said that she was working for the ABC News/It was as much of the alphabet as she knew how to use."

Billy Bragg also has a great ear for language: "With the money from her accident, she bought herself a mobile home/So at least she could get some enjoyment out of being alone."

Elvis and Billy's songs are peppered with lines like those.
